Making music together is powerful! Lessons 9 & 10 will focus on music ensembles, two or more playing or singing together. Cultures all around the world value the experience of ensemble, in all kinds of forms—drumming circles, marching bands, folk sing-a-longs, and symphony orchestras each offering their own unique musical experience.
In Family Time, we’ve made music together, and participated in the creation of many ensemble experiences. What more natural ensemble than a family and the community around it? We played resonator bars in an instrumental ensemble during “I Like to Sing.”
You can enjoy a "Kitchen Ensemble" this week at home. Get out some wooden spoons, pots, bowls, or other kitchen items along with your Kindermusik CD. Enjoy playing together but don’t forget to give everyone a solo-part, too. Why not try a "Bathtub Ensemble" or a "Bedtime Ensemble" as well?
Have a good week!
